I just watched "Supersize Me" last night. 30 days of three square at McD's and saying yes to supersizing every time they ask if you like to. He gained 17 pounds in the first 12 days, cholesterol shot up 70 points, blood pressure went sky high, and they were even detecting signs of liver damage as the end of the "experiment" was approaching.

I just watched "Supersize Me"

There was a deal on this show a while back where a guy did the same thing.... only he skipped the soft drinks and gained no weight.... next he skipped the soft drinks and exercised and actually lost weight....

The jist of the rebuttal was that it was the soft drinks that were the killer and not mikey D's. The rebuttal referred to soft drinks as "Hollow Calories".

Or something like that....

Anyhoo.... food (supersize) for thought... :haha:

I find it funny they are complaining that restaurants dont have to provide calorie info unless they claim their food is "low fat" or "healthy". Fast food advertises itself as "tasty" and "cheap".

Like anyone thinks eating at Fast food every day is a good thing. I doubt having information like "this burger has 2000 calories" is going to help those kinds of people. Dont blame McDonalds for your fat ass, the menu is not evil. You just gotta have some common sense.

Now I'm all hungy for a jalepino double cheeseburger, thanks guys!
